The work is based on resultsimplemented by the hygiene service on request of the chief hygiene officer of the Czech Republic. Occupationalmedical care of adolescents having vocational training is at present very frequently inadequate as regards extentand standard. If it is provided at all, it is reduced to preventive medical examinations. These are moreover oflimited value if adolescents are involved who are training for an occupation where exposure to noxious factorsforms an integral part. The character of these examinations is often set and the conclusions are formulated withoutthe doctor knowing the working conditions and working risks of these occupations in actual workplaces. A solutionof the problem is adoption of appropriate legislation and aimed postgraduate training.
